Representation first.
Young people should see themselves in the people, stories and opportunities they encounter.
More chances.
More orientation.
More future.
Our task
Understanding educational pathways.
Experience possibilities.
Not all young people have the same access to information, contacts and role models. OpenDesk makes educational and career opportunities for young people aged 10 to 16 tangible - openly, respectfully and without reducing their paths to deficits.
We especially want to reach young people with African, Latin American or other migration histories. Parents and caregivers can contact OpenDesk directly for clear guidance.
Our offers
Open paths.
Strengthen potential.
Open Doors and Inspiring Evening are designed directly for young people. The tutoring programme is being developed with care.

The club
An association for educational opportunities - from the community, for the community.
We connect young people with places, people and information that make educational paths more tangible. We think with parents, and we invite schools and partner organizations to work together.
